In this episode of YouCan!, we dive into a critical tool that can make or break a business launch: a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. Discover how a well-organised CRM can be the difference between a profitable course launch and missed revenue. I’ll share the story of my client Amy, who initially struggled to see the true potential of her new course’s earnings. When we analysed her sales and revenue tracking, we discovered her CRM was incomplete, concealing thousands in hidden revenue.

By updating her CRM, Amy uncovered an extra $7,800 in her sales pipeline, gaining vital clarity on her cash flow. This one adjustment allowed us to identify revenue opportunities, improve her course marketing strategy, and create a more sustainable and effective launch plan.

Join us to learn:
